Open Access in Theory and Practice: The Theory-Practice Relationship and Opennes

Description: Open Access in Theory and Practice by Stephen Pinfield, Simon Wakeling, David Bawden, Lyn Robinson Open Access in Theory and Practice investigates the theory-practice relationship associated with Open Access (OA) publication and the dissemination of research. In particular, the book examines the extent to which theory has been helpful in explaining OA and how it has been used to inform action by practitioners. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Open Access in Theory and Practice investigates the theory-practice relationship in the domain of open access publication and dissemination of research outputs. Drawing on detailed analysis of the literature and current practice in OA, as well as data collected in detailed interviews with practitioners, policymakers, and researchers, the book discusses what constitutes theory, and how the role of theory is perceived by both theorists and practitioners. Exploring the ways theory and practice have interacted in the development of OA, the authors discuss what this reveals about the nature of the OA phenomenon itself and the theory-practice relationship. Open Access in Theory and Practice contributes to a better understanding of OA and, as such, should be of great interest to academics, researchers, and students working in the fields of information science, publishing studies, science communication, higher education policy, business, and economics. The book also makes an important contribution to the debate of the relationship between theory and practice in information science, and more widely across different fields of the social sciences and humanities Author Biography Stephen Pinfield is Professor of Information Services Management, University of Sheffield, UK.Simon Wakeling is a Lecturer at the School of Information Studies, Charles Sturt University, Australia.David Bawden is Professor of Information Science, City, University of London, UKLyn Robinson is Reader in Library and Information Science, City, University of London, UK Table of Contents Part 1: Foundations: Open AccessChapter 1: Open Access: Beginnings and DevelopmentsChapter 2: Open Access: Components and RelationshipsPart 2: Foundations: Theory and PracticeChapter 3: Theory: Definitions and DisciplinesChapter 4: Theory and Practice: Relationships and GapsPart 3: Perspectives: Theory in ResearchChapter 5: Theory in Open Access Studies: Scoping and AnalysingChapter 6: Theory in Open Access Studies: Using and GeneratingPart 4: Perspectives: Theory in ActionChapter 7: Theory in Open Access Practice: Theorising and ActingChapter 8: Theory in Open Access Practice: Engaging and EvadingPart 5: Integrations: Theory, Practice, and Open AccessChapter 9: Theory and Practice: Barriers and BridgesChapter 10: Open Access: Debates and PrioritiesConclusionChapter 11: Conclusion: Open Access in Theory and Practice Review This books four authors have extensive practical and theoretical experience in library and information science and open access.
